Million $ Show (a.k.a. Million Dollar Show) has been announced as the first track on the forthcoming album Hitnrun.

Little is known about the track, a snippet of which was included in the HITnRUN Tour Intro for the first time on 9 April, 2015, Fox Theatre, Detroit, MI, USA. The intro was otherwise made up of earlier tracks by Prince, and it was assumed that a full version of Million Dollar Show was recorded. An interview given by Joshua Welton prior to the album's release, however, states that the album's opening tracks uses chopped-up samples of For You (the opening track from Prince's first album For You, so it is possible this track is similar to how it was used as a pre-recorded concert intro rather than a full song.

While specific recording dates are not known, it is assumed that a studio version of the track was recorded in early 2015, most likely at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA. The track includes some vocals by Swedish R&B singer Snoh Aalegra.
